Yesterday, at 12 noon, was the beginning of summer. At least it was as far as some people, us included, are concerned, because that was when Abbott's Lobster in the Rough began their 2013 season (see the Roadfood.com review). Their hours will be limited to Fridays through Sundays until Memorial Day weekend, when they begin a daily schedule up through Labor Day weekend. We like to visit early in the season because that is when hard-shell lobsters are most plentiful. Don't forget to visit their website to print out a coupon for free clam chowder (valid with lobster dinner purchase, M-TH, starting Memorial Day).
